Pasajero
Los Acosta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Salpicando las paredes con mi amor
He tratado de decirte lo que te amo yo
Pero te resistes a darme tu corazón
Una nube de dudas hay en tu ser
Y te encierras en un mundo de papel oh oh
Soy un triste pasajero
Que no como ni duermo
Todo me sabe todo me sabe a dolor
Soy un triste pasajero
Que vago sin dirección
Y aunque no tengo dinero
Tengo mucho, pero mucho corazón
He pintado yo tu nombre como un aerosol
Y la policia anda tras de mí
Una nube de dudas hay en tu ser
Y te encierras en un mundo de papel oh oh
Soy un triste pasajero
Esperando mi camión
Que no como ni duermo
Todo me sabe todo me sabe a dolor
Soy un triste pasajero
Que vago sin dirección
Y aunque no tengo dinero
Tengo mucho, pero mucho corazón
The first verse of Los Acosta's song "Pasajero" describes the singer's efforts to express his love for someone who is hesitant to reciprocate. The lyrics use a metaphor of painting the person's name with an aerosol on walls to symbolize the singer's attempts to make his affection visible to the world. However, the person resists opening their heart to him, and the singer observes that they are locked in a world of paper, likely a reference to the walls they have created to protect themselves from getting hurt. The use of a "cloud of doubts" suggests that the person may have been hurt in the past and is hesitant to trust again.
The chorus of "Pasajero" reinforces the singer's sense of loneliness and despair. He feels like a passenger waiting for a bus that never comes, unable to eat or sleep because his pain permeates everything in his life. He wanders aimlessly, with no clear direction or purpose. However, the singer also notes that he has a lot of heart, which suggests that he is not giving up despite his difficulties.
Overall, "Pasajero" is a poignant song about unrequited love and the pain that it can cause. The lyrics evoke a sense of isolation and desperation, but they also offer a glimmer of hope that the singer will find happiness and love in the future.
